The symposiums will be held parallel to Techtextil, International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Nonwovens, in Frankfurt am Main/Germany from May 24-26, 2011. The aim of both symposiums is to generate new impulses for the sectors covered, to boost interdisciplinary communication and to disseminate information about the latest developments and potential applications.

1. Materials + products from renewable resources, e.g., from bio-polymers, natural fibers
2. Nano-technology and technical textiles – current and potential applications
